Improvements in multioutput threshold-logic gates

J. M. Eves1 * and S. L. Hurst2 §

1 MOD Directorate of Communications Projects, London, UK, 2 School of Electrical Engineering, University of Bath, Claverton Down, Bath, UK

Previous developments by Winn (1975) on the design of single-output threshold-logic gates using Boolean product-of-sum expansions have been extended to the consideration of multioutput threshold-logic gates, by searching for optimum factorising of Winn functions to provide common terms for dissimilar threshold outputs. It has been found that such searches do not yield good results, but the combination of Winn plus parity functions is more viable. A need for more powerful digital synthesis techniques to handle multioutput design, with the ability to choose the number of logic levels per realisation, is found to be desirable for this and all other multioutput design problems.

Received November 1976.
